Getting Ready For Fall

With the weather getting chilly and Summer memories fading fast, pharm it’s time to get ready for Fall. This means pulling out the sweaters and light jackets. Getting blankets and comforters out from the top shelf of the linen closet. Watching leave turn colors. Dusting off that slow cooker. Washing the stock pots and digging up those wonderful fall recipes, store or discovering new ones.

Here at House of Zeta it may take us a little time to get used to fall, healing as we tend to be spring and summer people. But once we do, we go all out. Slow cooking pork shoulders or roasts. Baking lasagna’s and sweet pies. Making lots of soups and stocks. Roasting root vegetables as they become available. We start to discover our kitchens again and just like old friends it feels like time never passes.

With the days getting shorter and the nights longer, the farmers markets will have less and less to choose from. The farmers will start to head back upstate and buckle down. The weather will start to turn even colder as the days go by. And we will find ourselves indoors more often, which can only mean one thing. It’s time to enjoy what warm days are left, to grab that mulled wine and simmer it while you slow cook the night away.
